now I'm pondering how one could write a program that, given a regular expression, automatically generates a (possibly infinite) list of all strings that are matched by that regex
feel free to reply with your favorite programming languages
@typhlosion nodejs has randexp
@boots I don't want rand, I want a systematically-generated list
@typhlosion yeah i mean like it could be reconfigured to do that
@boots ohh
i guess mainly i was wondering how to actually, like, parse the regex and do it on one's own ;p you know, as a coding exercise
@boots i'm a big fan of reinventing the wheel recreationally/didactically/(both at once)
